Disaster relief
ConocoPhillips is dedicated to providing urgent support to communities hit by natural disasters. Support comes from direct company gifts and employee donations alike. Employees who donate to these causes may also receive matching funds from the company's generous Matching Gifts program. Through 2017, ConocoPhillips has donated over RMB 6.23 million for earthquake and related disaster relief in China. One of our most important contributions has been to the development of a Disaster Assessment System, which is the matrix with different dimension and criteria that assists industry peers in providing a quick assessment to the damage level of unpredictable disasters.
ConocoPhillips donated RMB 500,000 to the Red Cross Society of China for disaster relief efforts following the earthquake that occurred in Qinghai Yushu in April of 2010.
ConocoPhillips donated RMB 2 million in the aftermath of the earthquake that occurred in Sichuan in May of 2008. In addition, special efforts were made for ConocoPhillips employees and contractors inside and outside of China to make donations, which were matched by the company.
